Fant only saw one more target than backup tight end AJ Barner. The rookie caught two passes and bested Fant with 34 yards. He finished second on the Seahawks in yards while Fant landed at fourth. Fant has three 60-yard games this year but is typically behind three or more pass-catchers in the pecking order for targets. He is buried in the TE2 ranks for his upcoming game versus the Rams.
Fant ran a pass route on 19 of the Seahawks' 36 drop backs and made the most of his four looks from Geno Smith, a couple of which went for first downs on critical third downs. Fant remains the team's fourth or fifth option in the passing game; he's only seen more than four targets twice in 2024. He profiles as a good-enough streaming option for Week 8 against the Bills.
The six grabs matched Fant's season high, while his 63 yards were a new 2024 best. It was nevertheless "blink and you'll miss it" production on an evening where Geno Smith attempted 52 passes. Fant hasn't displayed any upside and isn't drawing red-zone looks. He's a floor-based TE2 in 12-team re-draft leagues.
